Even with my fairly strong connection (see below) this slowed my browsing down to a halt. I had to open IE just to get back to MPC's website to revert to default.

Ex-Vista Exec's Solo Album Debut Doesn't Make Up for Poor Vista Launch
Posted 03/26/2009 at 12:52:29pm
I won't argue that the music is bad but to call it one of the worst albums one has ever heard is pretty ridiculous.
Engineering Windows 7 for Faster Boot Performance
Posted 09/05/2008 at 12:54:55am
I don't think they ment the OS optimized it, they just probably turned a few things off.
I'm excited for windows 7 personally, boot times really don't affect me much but less processes, less memory uses, paralell drivers seem interesting, and they are working closer with vendors = money imo.
No Vista SP1 via Windows Update? We Have the Solutions!

It is a rather long install, despite being only 65ish mb large. Stage 2 took the longest for me (I did not have the hang at 100% like the other user posted), and overall the install was very smooth. So far I notice a little overall speed increase, could just be placebo. Went smooth though.

AMD on the Rise, but is the Company Poised to Fall?
Posted 04/16/2007 at 11:55:18pm
That's a stupid, baseless, "Hi I'm an AMD fanboi" statement. Even though the "Quad" Core that Intel has out now is not true Quad core it still dominates AMD completely. And it's definitely not a slow processor by any means. We have no real, true, hard benchmarks from 3rd parties to really know if the Barcelona core will "pull ahead again." Intel absolutely did not repeat the major problems as you claim, this only makes you look ignorant and again like a huge fanboi.
That being said, I have never used an Intel chip save for an ancient system I used as a kid. I have ALWAYS gone with AMD mostly because of the pricing, and I loved my first processor from them (3600+). And I also do hope the Barcelona core will do well, considering that it will be the first true quad core. I'm not an AMD fanboi as I don't recommend their processors exclusively, and my next build will most likely have an E6600 from intel.
But seriously, stupid comments like the one Gamer100gs made are just that... stupid. Baseless arguments make you look like an idiot.
